BINDING BRAKES
EXTBHMELY DANGEROUS. With the advent of four-wheel brakes and the increase of the number of acuating parts requiring lubrication it behoves the motorist to give more care to inspecting these vital components. The binding of brakes fitted to the rear wheels is bad enough but the locking of front wheel brake's Brings one. perilously close to the cemetery. Defects in design may lead to a difficulty in freeing the shoes, but even the best designs cannot work freely if lubrication is neglected. It should be remembered that if through some defeet the front wheel brakes are locked when the brakes are applied steering is lost. If the front wheels cease revolving while the car is in motion, the driver has little, if any. control over the vehicle’s directional course. The various points and tho bearings in which the cam-operating spindles are carried should be kept clean and oiled period! caily. if the brake applied by the hand or foot shows any signs of release hesitations, the cause should be ascertained without delay. It is here a case of “he who hesitates.’ ’
